Unable to get KDevelop to compile programs

2 posts in this topic

After having trouble trying to install KDevelop on Ubuntu version 9.04 due to it having libtool version 2.2.4 instead of the required version of 1.5.X.X, I installed version 8.0.4.3LTS.

However, after then installing KDevelop through Synaptic (including the dependencies it said were required) I still fail to be able to compile the basic 'Hello World' program. When I attempt to build I recieve the following prompt:

There is no Makefile in this directory

and no configure script for this project.

Run automake & friends and configure first?

To which I select 'Yes'. But despite this I receive the following error:

But upon running the following commands in the Terminal to see if they are installed:

apt-cache showpkg automake

apt-cache showpkg autoconf

apt-cache showpkg libtool

I am lead to believe that I have the following versions installed:

automake Versions: 1:1.10.1-2

autoconf Versions: 2.61-4

libtool Versions: 1.5.26-1ubuntu1

But alas, I am still unable to compile programs.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful if they could suggest them because I need to get this installed and so far it's been a total fail, just like asking on the KDevelop forums themselves has been.
